Soft control is the phrase on the label and it is accurate. This is a styling lotion that settles hair down without taking the movement out of it or leaving coils feeling tacky.

The 16oz bottle is the largest in the Max Moisture line and it earns the size, because a lotion like this gets used on wet, damp and dry hair alike. Coconut oil and olive fruit oil handle the softening and the shine, panthenol keeps the strand flexible, and a hydrolysed vegetable protein reinforces the look of fragile lengths so styles hold up better.

Good for:

  • Twists and braid-outs that need to set smoothly
  • Stretched styles and soft blow-dried looks
  • Reviving an older style midweek
  • Frizz control across a full day

Tagged 2c through 4b. Work it through in sections from root to tip, then style. A small amount refreshes dry hair between washes, which is where the 16oz size starts paying for itself, since a lotion you use on wash day and again on days two, four and six goes down considerably faster than a wash-day-only styler.

Application tips

Lotion consistency means it pours, so decant into your palm over the sink the first time. Damp hair, worked through in four sections with the fingers, then combed to spread it evenly.

Roller sets, wraps, blow-dries and twist-outs all take it. On dry hair between washes, a smaller amount on the ends alone is plenty. Let it dry down before brushing.

Results

Hold sits at the gentle end. Hair stays where you put it without the shell a gel leaves, and coils keep their spring.

Frizz along the crown settles, the surface picks up light, and there is no sticky drag when you run a hand over it. Sets come out neat, and second-day hair still moves.

Composition

Coconut Oil
Softens coarse texture and keeps the lotion from feeling thin
Olive Oil
Locks hydration in and leaves a low, natural shine behind
Panthenol
Keeps hair pliable so styled sections do not go stiff
